clod project

[skrewdriver]

I wanted to know what you guys thought about this chassis, link and shock setup:
http://putfile.com/pic.php?pic=6/17518560835.jpg&s=f5 you guys

Its going to be used with clod axles for a crawler.

Its just a rough idea and I want to build on that.
So any and all advice is appreciated.
Thanks all!

Thats not the wheel base I'd be using. The actual wb would be around 16"-18".
Here is what I would be using:
Stock wheels
+Imex Swamp Dawg tires
+Integy lathe motors
+Stock 13T pinion for now (eventually maybe 9T front and rear)
+1/4 scale steering servo front- locked rear ( eventually Ill have front and rear steer)
+Super rooster ESC (eventually I might run 2 ESC's. 1for the rear axle and 1for the front)
+either savage shocks or E/T maxx shocks

looks like a good idea, i drew my plans on out paper before i started..might want to go with straight lowers...iv read many of times bent ones break at the ends or so..off to a good start tho

dont use two ESC's just get a tekin rebel 2 or a novack evx or super rooster.

Im using a super rooster on my current truck and when I put stress on the rear axle it wount move. I read that 2- ESC will fix that problem

I was researching that and noticed that some of the comp. crawlers have bent lowers and even spoke to the people and they said they liked the bent lowers and havent had problems..... So I'm thinking to try it...maybe
